Luton get their TV date as they hope to be the first non-league side in 99 years to make it to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup

Mark Tyler says his Luton team-mates are ready to seize their chance to make history and become the first non-League team to progress to the FA Cup quarter-finals in 99 years.

The 35-year-old goalkeeper was inspired in shutting out Premier League Norwich in the last round and promises to be just as switched on for the visit of Championship side Millwall.

The match will kick off at 12.45pm on Saturday to appease police and television broadcasters, with ESPN cameras at Kenilworth Road to show it live.

Luton called for their remarkable Cup run to be given recognition by TV bosses after their shock victory at Norwich was overlooked and this fifth-round tie should net them more than £200,000 alone.

Paul Buckle’s Blue Square Bet Premier side are aiming to become the first non-League team since Queens Park Rangers in 1914 to reach the last eight.

Tyler celebrated that late 1-0 win at Carrow Road by staying in the hotel attached to the stadium and was pleasantly surprised when he opened his curtains the morning after the upset.

‘I stayed in the Holiday Inn in the corner of the ground,’ he revealed. ‘It was an easy meeting point for the family. I woke up on Sunday morning and it was mental, I could see the pitch.

‘It was a great day for the family as well and a quiet night because we had a game Tuesday.’

On the Millwall game Tyler said: ‘I was delighted we were at home. Don’t get me wrong, if you ask anyone they want to play Man United. But this is winnable.

‘We will give them the respect they are due for being an established Championship side. But we are at home and have been playing well at home. We will have our game-plan the same as the other games. Hopefully by 3pm we will be in the next round.

‘You have to be switched on for 90 minutes. Technically you can get away with it in our league because it is not so demanding. But Championship players just do it that little bit quicker.’

Hungarian defender Janos Kovacs admitted the Millwall match had occupied his thoughts the entire week. ‘If we could make the quarter-finals it would be amazing,’ the 27-year-old said.

‘We are struggling in the league, and the most important thing is to escape, but this past few days this match has been my focus.’

Scott Rendell came off the bench to score the winner in the fourth round with a delightful finish he didn’t actually see hit the back of the net. The 26-year-old striker said: ‘I’m not looking for anything spectacular against Millwall, I will take a scruffy one off my backside and if it’s the winner again . . . all the more sweet.’

Buckle, meanwhile, is confident there will be no trouble on the terraces. He said: ‘I’d ask our supporters to behave and enjoy the game. In football there’s no place for abuse of managers, coaches and players. There’s no place for racism. It’s ridiculous.

'But I don’t think there’s any worry of that. Football has moved on and we’re confident the game will go smoothly. It’s got all the makings of being a fantastic Cup-tie.

‘As a player there’s nothing better than going out and performing in front of passionate fans. It’ll be the loudest Kenilworth Road has ever been.’
